The Void
Edith has a void. She has no idea what to put in it. You might.
Edith has a void. You probably have one too — but somehow you know what to do with yours, and she has absolutely no idea.
A Romanian clown arriving fresh from somewhere slightly outside the human experience, Edith is on a desperate, deadpan mission: ask the audience what fills the void, then try everything they suggest. Work? Love? Snacks? She'll attempt all of it, with complete sincerity and zero guarantee of success.
Playful, melancholic, and quietly devastating, The Void is a debut clown hour where every show is different, nothing gets resolved, and somehow that's okay.
Created and performed by Edith Alibec Directed by Dana Paraschiv.

We encourage patrons to wear a mask while moving around the building and when seated in the theatre.
Seating is not socially distanced. The theatre is ventilated before and after every performance with regular and thorough cleaning of touch points. Hand sanitiser and face masks are available onsite.
Access
We regret that our theatre is up a flight of stairs with no wheelchair access available.
